My 25 Motif Challenge, was to tat 25 animals in a year, plus other tatting too of course!
I completed the challenge and have challenged my self to tat another 25 animals, tho' this may take more than another year as there are so many other things I want to tat.

OMG can it really be THREE MONTHS since I last blogged and promised you a new colourway!

So much has happened since then,

Christmas celebrations... hope you all had a happy one.

New Year celebrations....hope you all will be happy and healthy,

Holiday in the sun.....more about that soon..ish.
Coming home to the worst storms we have ever had.water everywhere, the whole country is still soaking wet .

Looking after gorgeous grandchildren while their mum is away lecturing.

And of course Tatting and Dyeing, working on my TAT Master...and its hard to do it well.

Only one out of twelve completed to my satisfaction.

So back to Silver Dawn.

Imagine if you will very early in the morning just as the sky begins to brighten to pure silver...no hint of blue yet, gradually it becomes tinged with pink giving the sky a slight purplish tinge, which soon turns into a pink flush.

Above the horizon comes a hint of peach, then apricot tinting the pink.

Wow! then suddenly the sun begins to break through on the horizon an the whole scene becomes lit with gold.

Sounds idyllic doesn't it?

Well I am lucky enough to be able to see this happen with nothing to interrupt the view of the horizon.....if I should get up that early that is......and it was one such morning that took my breath away.....and shouted out SILVER DAWN.....you must dye that!

But

While we were on holiday in UK I was witness to a sky that was even more like I imagined
my
Silver Dawn to be.

So here goes....this is my interpretation of this beautiful sky.

This is how it looks when tatted in my favourite patterns. It's very soft and gentle.
